I actually think each film has progressivley improved on the last. And the story tying the films together is actually top-notch for b-grade horror. I'm looking forward to this installment.

I am of the opposite opinion.

I think each has gotten progressively worse. I loved the original Saw. Saw 2 was okay, but not nearly as great as the original. The twist ending in the original was much better IMO. Saw 3 was just a big turd, and it left me with no real desire to want to watch Saw 4.

I agree with starseed1981, I think each movie has been better than the last. I thought that the Saw franchise was only going to have 5 movies not 6, this could spell doom for the series if it overstays it's welcome. I think we need to remind these people of the Friday the 13th, Halloween, TCM, Amityville & basically any other horror franchise's "Jumping the Shark" history.
The Saw franchise is one of the select few along with the Chucky franchise that have actually stayed good thus far & have not seen much (If any) dip in quality.

Agreed. Saw was solid, Saw 2 was stupid and predictable, Saw 3 was just awful.

I liked Saw 2 the best, Saw 3 the next best, and Saw 1 comes in last for me. Cary Elwes made me laugh so hard...unfortunatley it wasn't a comedic performance.

Hmm... I liked them all, but enjoyed Saw 1 the most. The other 2 were entertaining and I enjoyed them more then enough to anticipate a 4th (and more, depending on how good this one is).

And hey, unlike the other horror franchises, I think the Saw films has held up pretty well through 3 movies so far.

I really think they need to stop after this one. Saw 3 was a perfect ending to the series. IMHO it was the best entry. Now they've announced a new director for parts V and VI? Give me a break.

I stongly disagree. I thought "Seed of Chucky" was one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life -- horror or otherwise.

I think the scenes showing Jigsaw with some woman made it feel like there should be something more to tell, so I wouldn't want to see it end without an explanation.

After clicking a link for info about the 2-disc Poltergeist disc, I found a link talking about Saw 4.

Apparently,
Spoiler:
Donnie is feeling bamboozled because he told them he wanted to die in part 3. However, they left his "death" on the cutting room floor and are bringing him back for 4. Needless to say...he's not too happy. Guess that's going to spoil the planned New Kids reunion.

I thought it was the second weakest out of the series, Child's Play 3 was my least favorite out of the Chucky franchise but they have all been entertaining in my opinion. I still think Bride of Chucky is the best followed by Child's Play then Child's Play 2.

I like the tools as roman numerals; not so much the tag line, though.
